“…According to previous studies, approximately 30% of SFTs occur in the extra-thoracic region [1], but we now know that SFTs can occur any site. In agreement with this, the number of reported cases of extra-thoracic SFTs, including SFTs of the mediastinum [6,7], nasal cavity [11], liver [12,13], kidneys [14], pericardium [8,9], and retroperitoneum [10], is increasing. This report describes a case in which an SFTS arose in the retroperitoneum.…”

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) were initially reported to be pleural tumors, but they can occur at any site. Herein, we report an unusual case in which a large SFTS developed in the retroperitoneal cavity. A 43-year-old female was referred to our hospital because of abdominal distension. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large retroperitoneal tumor occupying the entire abdominal cavity. In addition, CT showed that the right adrenal artery was the tumor's main feeding artery. At first, we suspected an intra-abdominal tumor, but no conclusive evidence to support this diagnosis was obtained. As there was a possibility of malignancy (and to relieve the patient's symptoms), we performed the surgical resection. A postoperative pathological examination revealed that the tumor was an SFTs derived from the retroperitoneal mesenchyme. The patient has been tumor-free for 5 years since the operation. We present a rare case of SFTs that was difficult to differentiate from an adrenal tumor.

“…Los TFSH se presentan con mayor frecuencia en las mujeres (72%) 8 . La edad promedio de presentación es de 55 a 59 años pero se han reportado entre los 16 y 83 años de edad [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] . nuestro paciente, masculino, se encontraba dentro del promedio de edad habitual de presentación de estos tumores.…”

“…El tumor fibroso solitario del hígado (TFSH) constituye un hallazgo tan raro que se ha publicado únicamente como reportes de caso y hasta el presente año se encontraron sólo 45 casos publicados en la literatura inglesa [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] . Las manifestaciones clínicas son inespecíficas, habitualmente referidas al efecto de masa y compresión que el TFSH produce sobre los órganos vecinos [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] . El diagnóstico es habitualmente incidental y en algunos casos dirigido durante el estudio radiológico de los síntomas del paciente [11][12][13][14] .…”

Solitary fibrous tumor of the liver caudate lobeintroduction: Solitary fibrous tumor of the liver (SFTL) constitutes such a rare finding that it has been published only as case reports and to the present date there are only 45 cases published in English medical literature. This article describes the case of a patient treated at our institution with SFTL. case report: A male 59-years-old patient was diagnosed with a SFTL incidentally found in a computed abdominal tomography taken by another causes, tumor was originating from the caudate lobe. The patient was asymptomatic. At surgery, the tumor was observed originating directly from the caudate lobe through a pedicle measuring approximately 3 cm. The tumor was resected sectioning its implantation pedicle and ligating all arterial, venous and biliary vessels. The SFTL was well encapsulated, measured 15 x 9 x 6 cm and weighted 794 g. The histological diagnosis was a SFTL and was confirmed by immunohistochemistry with monoclonal antibodies that reacted positively to CD34 and vimentin and negatively to CD117, S100, smooth-muscle α-actin and desmin. conclusions: SFTL is an uncommon tumor. The present case is the first reported in Chilean medical literature and presented all the habitually described radiologic, surgical and pathological characteristics.

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the pleura are rare soft‐tissue tumors that are presumed to be of mesenchymal origin. Most SFTs are histologically benign, but up to 20% of SFTs may be malignant. In addition, malignant transformation may occur within histologically benign SFTs, though it is rare. However, it is difficult to diagnose malignant SFTs of the pleura by means of conventional computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this article we present the first case of malignant SFT of the pleura in an 81‐year‐old man in which the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value and ADC map based on diffusion‐weighted MRI were very useful for identifying malignant transformation.
